This is what I've expected all along. A second round pick this year along with a fifth or so at some point. If they can get it, more power to them.

Despite what's been said in this thread, Albert is neither young nor indispensable. He's 28 years old and will turn 29 mid-season. He had issues with back spasms that caused him to miss the better part of five games. No one knows if he can stay healthy for the next five seasons and if not, he is not worth $10 million per year in cap space. That's retarded.

Trading Albert and drafting a Joekel, Fisher or Lane is a calculated risk. But when your new front office is dealing with one of the worst football teams in the NFL over the course of the past 20 years, calculated risks will be necessary from time to time.

For those that say we are pretty much moving sideways in this off season just have to look at it this way..

Say what you want about Alex Smith, he is an upgrade on the garbage we had last year..IDK, what is up with Albert, but Reid and Company must not like something...

We draft Joeckel, bring in Alex Smith, and draft Ryan Nassib in round 2..We get a franchise LT, a bonafide starting QB, and a great QB project..Greg Cossell says Nassib may be the best QB prospect in this draft pool..

Say what you will, but I think it would be great if we can get Joeckel and Nassib in the draft..Albert or Joeckel and Nassib? I pick Joeckel and Nassib..

Well, I've always taken you for a dumbass ****, so there is that, you raging ****ing pussy.

One thing about Kizer: I think Notre Dame was so much of a shitshow, overrated program that he could have some untapped potential in a more stable environment. I like his talent the most out of all these guys.

Shariff Floyd, Sheldon Richardson, Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery, Margus Hunt and Cory Lemonier are some of the best DL/pass rushers in this draft and Joeckel owned every single one of them this season.

With a new regime in control of the Kansas City Chiefs, many have assumed that there will be the usual amount of roster-churning during the initial offseason. Couple that with possessing the No. 1 overall draft pick, and it's an exciting time for those who follow the club. The offensive line is certainly in a state of flux, as we've seen the team release starting RT Eric Winston and place the franchise tag on LT Branden Albert. Subsequently, however, there have been reports that Albert is on the trading block, so perhaps this is an indication that that No. 1 pick will be used on a player to replace him.

Buttressing that belief is a report from Adam Caplan of the Sideline View on Friday morning. Caplan indicates that a contingent from the Chiefs -- including GM John Dorsey and HC Andy Reid -- are headed to Texas A&M to conduct a private workout with LT prospect Luke Joeckel. Thereafter, per Caplan, the group will head to Oklahoma to check out fellow OT prospect Lane Johnson. While it's believed that Joeckel is more suited to the left side, Johnson has been cited as a player that can fit in at either tackle spot. This could be important depending upon what the Chiefs do with Albert.

While having to protect the most mobile QB in cfb. That is exhausting and not easy.
